I love this dog with all my heart.

Our old man had a scare, including a very expensive visit to the dog ER. He needed to be monitored when we had errands to run yesterday, so we brought him with us.

The steps to the coffehouse we stopped at were still a bit scary, so the barista brought his pup cup outside. In a full latte cup.

We just lost Beau to parvo and now Elsa is showing symptoms.
I am so fucking scared right now.

@Cobalt
Oh God, I am so so so sorry.

@junipersky I lucked out and just happen to have a vet who has a mobile vet. He came and ran some tests on Elsa and while she’s not showing signs of being very sick we let him take her to hospitalize her so she has IV fluids and the like.

@Cobalt Don’t lose hope! My parents used to run a Labrador rescue and at one point, my mother took in an entire litter of puppies with the same thing. While the outcome was not perfect, it was significantly better than people told her it would be.

We used to get a Christmas card every year from a family that ended up adopting one of them. My mother kept those pictures of Bailey plastered all over our fridge as proof that even when things seem terrible, there’s hope.

Elsa is home and feeling good enough to literally tear up everything in my bedrooms…

But can you even be mad? When my senior dog feels spry enough to drag garbage all over the house, I’m like, “Aww. You were a rotten little monster who trashed the kitchen. You’re having a good day today, huh, big guy?”

[Cobalt]

@Aria I can not. She is far too cute and I am so happy she is feeling better. Right now she’s in the other room barking at a cat.

Do I have a puppy or a baby polar bear???

@Cobalt omgah it would be so hard not to bother that with kisses

Our cat has been limping for a few days (we recently had to move some furniture around and I think he might have knocked something over onto himself) so we finally took him to the ER. He’s a big indoor/outdoor boy and usually if he limps for a bit he gets better in a day or so if we move his stuff into a place where he doesn’t have to leap around. They had to have us do a drop-off and he was not having it.

[somasatori]

So, no shit, but there was another cat’s TOOTH embedded in Simsim’s leg. The veterinarian said that it was very close to a tendon. They got it out, but he needs to be in a cast and cone for 4 weeks. Poor little guy. They’re having me give him buprenorphine and gabapentin for pain.

Maybe this will teach the poor thing it wants to stay safe inside.
